Catherine Kolb has found the perfect diversion from her life of nearly complete seclusion: a virtually anonymous correspondence with a man she knows only as “Watts.” Intelligent, intriguing, and with an insatiable appetite for sex, his words begin to draw her out of her closely guarded world.

Watts insists on privacy. He has no choice. In the wrong hands, his secrets could get people killed.

Including him.

And Catherine.

But curiosity and lust prove stronger than reason and safety. A planned one-time encounter sets into motion a series of events that bring Catherine and Watts to the edge of ecstasy and the brink of peril.

Two very private people. One risky night. A shot at love and redemption.

Due to mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.

5 HOT stars!!

“No words. I need you naked right now. Let’s go”…

WOW!!! Privacy Code was a little out of my norm, but I like to mix it up every once in a while and this one did it. I gotta admit that when it started, I was thinking this one wasn’t going to wow me. Dating site romances usually don’t do it for me. But, this one DID!! Actually, I LOVED it!! Mystery and sex…hell yeah!

“So far, this may sound like the work of some Internet perv, getting off on sending me dirty emails, but I assure you that’s not what it is.”

Catherine is intentionally living a life of seclusion, due to her traumatic past. And “Watts” has LOTS of secrets that led him to a life without a relationship. So, their 6 month online email relationship works well for both of them…until!!! Catherine gets curious, and a supposed one time night of fun is set up, and turns into more. This story is full of smokin’ HOT sex scenes!! The name “Watts” sounds kinda boring, don’t ya think?!? He’s not even close to boring! And it is killing me to know more about him. I feel like there are so many layers to the mysterious “Watts,” which means I will be picking up the next book almost immediately after finishing this review. And Catherine, at first I wasn’t sure about her. She seemed very odd, and yeah, a life of mostly seclusion is odd! But the woman comes out of her shell quite easily and I enjoyed her just as much as “Watts.”

“It was as if Watts somehow knew I had it in me even before I did, and he was its only master, capable of turning that aspect of my being on and off at his will.”

Jordan Burke has written an excellent debut story that entertained me with a great mix of mystery, emotion, and hot sex. Put it at the top of your to read list!!!

The situation was risky enough, and now I was dealing with the fact that she worked for what many people consider the world’s premier law enforcement agency.

I decided I needed to check her out. So as I left early Sunday morning, with Catherine still asleep in her bed, I found her purse where it always was—on the kitchen counter. I quickly rummaged through her stuff, found her wallet and got her name off of her driver’s license.

Catherine Marie Kolb.

On the drive home I made a phone call to Justin, a guy who occasionally did a little work for me.

I gave him Catherine’s name and birthdate, telling him all I needed was any information regarding her connections to the FBI or any other law enforcement or intelligence agencies. I asked him to keep it quiet.

I had been introduced to Justin by one of my associates. He was a grad student at Boston University, and apparently some kind of computer whiz who had turned down job offers from Microsoft, Apple, and various smaller tech firms right out of high school, opting instead to go to college. Smart kid. Damn brilliant, actually, and very eager to help out. For a small fee, of course.

Justin could get in and out of any computer in the world without leaving a trace. That’s what he claimed, at least. I wasn’t sure how true that was, but whenever I needed something that turned out to be deep within a highly secured computer network, Justin had been able to get it.

As I drove home, I mentally kicked my own ass for not having done due diligence before spending this much time with Catherine. She had given me no reason to suspect that she worked for a law enforcement agency. She’d given me no reason to believe she did anything other than some boring clerical job.

Just as I was entering the city of Baltimore, forty minutes later, my phone rang.

“She’s clean,” Justin said. “All she does is work in the department that scans incoming parcels. Sounds boring as shit, if you ask me.”

“No other jobs with the Bureau?”

“None. And no previous law enforcement or military activity. But there is something odd.”

I pulled up to a red light. “What’s that?”

“Catherine Marie Kolb didn’t exist until eight years ago.”
